I agree. I've never been to Fort Worth but know San Jose pretty well. If it was just comparing the 2 cities than Fort Worth probably comes out ahead. But when one considers the metro regions then San Jose takes the edge over Fort Worth.

Just comparing the cities only, I think so. I like San Jose, but Fort Worth offers more (especially in culture). San Jose is more diverse and is more scenic. That about all San Jose has up on Fort Worth in my opinion.

What culture? That's a vague, throwaway word.

Go back and look at some of the previous post. Clearly Fort Worth has the advantage in that category.

There was a list of museums copied and pasted from Wikipedia. Are you calling this a comprehensive inventory and definitive of the broad cultural spectrum?

Clearly.

If culture is a "vague, throwaway word", then natural beauty (mountains, coastline, etc.) means NOTHING!
